Lower leg compartment syndrome

1 watcher

JustTony Jan 2017 9:42pm, 20 Jan 2017 61 posts	0 JustTony One of my many current injuries is left lower leg compartment syndrome. The google monster tells me that the most likely cure is surgery, whilst a physio I've seen a couple of times says I can be sorted with massage and stretching. I'm obviously hoping he's right, but just wondering if there are fellow sufferers out there who have successfully beaten it without surgery. How did you do it?
HellsBells Jan 2017 10:10pm, 20 Jan 2017 22032 posts	0 HellsBells Where has the diagnosis of compartment syndrome come from? Acute compartment syndrome is a surgical emergency requiring urgent treatment and usually follows a sever injury. Chronic compartment syndrome is much less significant and responds to rest and changes to activity http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/compartment-syndrome/Pages/Introduction.
